MOBILE, Alabama - The Mobile BayBears completed the first segment of the Bay to Bay Series by pinning another loss on the Pensacola bullpen, rallying to beat the Blue Wahoos 5-2 at Hank Aaron Stadium today.

The BayBears won four of the five games in the series, and a Pensacola reliever was the losing pitcher in three of the games.

Catcher Rossmel Perez played a part in every Mobile rally in today's game, which was delayed by 90 minutes by rain. He had three hits, scored the go-ahead run in the seventh and delivered a two-run single in the eighth.

"That's two days in a row he's been huge for us," Mobile manager Andy Green said of Perez. "Yesterday, he stole a big base for us that broke the seal. Today, that last swing in the bottom of the eighth was a great piece of hitting, and he continues to hit the bat well."

Pensacola reliever Kyle Lotzkar didn't get anybody out in the seventh, although he lasted one-third of an inning. With the score tied 2-2, Nick Ahmed singled to start the Mobile seventh, but was thrown out trying to steal. Perez just started the rally again by pulling a single to right, and Lotzkar hit pinch hitter Ryan Stovall and Garrett Weber around a bloop single by Ender Inciarte to force in Perez with the go-ahead run.

Jon Griffin and Brent Clevlen started the home half of the eighth with consecutive singles. Pensacola reliever Drew Hayes retired the next two BayBears (6-4). But a wild pitch with Perez at bat put both runners into scoring position, and the Mobile catcher brought them home by lining a single to left.

"It's good to see the guys show up late when it really counts," Green said, "but we'd like to get on the board early and start that as a trend."

Mobile had one hit off Pensacola starter Ryan Dennick through four innings before coming up with three in the fifth, and, with the help of an error, tying the game at 2-2. Pitcher Bradin Hagens delivered a two-run single -- a sharp bounder that glanced off the glove of diving third baseman David Vidal into left field. Clevlen, who singled to start the rally, and Ahmed, whose one-out grounder rolled under the glove of shortstop Devin Lohman, scored.

"Bradin Hagens did everything for us today, including driving the first two runs in," Green said. "It was great to see him do that - a big hit helping himself out."

Hagens pitched seven innings, giving up six hits and one walk. A two-out double by Bryson Smith followed by Donald Lutz's single scored the game's first run in the first. The Wahoos went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position for the rest of the game. Vidal hit a homer just over the left-field fence with two out in the fifth to give Pensacola (4-6) a 2-0 lead.

Lutz doubled to start the seventh and moved up a base on Travis Mattair's flyout. But Hagens stranded him at third with consecutive strikeouts to finish with five for the game.

Mobile reliever Eric Smith got an inning-ending strikeout with a runner in scoring position in the next inning, too. An error and a hit batter had two Wahoos on when Smith threw strike three past Lutz, the Pensacola cleanup batter.

The Wahoos also got two runners on base in the ninth against Mobile reliever Bo Schultz. With one out, Griffin, the BayBears' first baseman, stretched far to his left to keep a sharp grounder by pinch hitter Steve Selsky from winding up in the right-field corner. Instead, after Griffin's flip to Schultz for the out at first, the Wahoos had runners on second and third, and Schultz left them there by getting Pensacola leadoff hitter Ryan LaMarre to fly out.

"It was a great play by Griff," Green said. "I typically don't guard the off line. I just don't see enough balls go down that way. The guy hit in a spot Griff wasn't, but the big guy ranged over there and got it done."

Griffin, Clevlen and Inciarte had two hits apiece for the BayBears.

Mobile starts a five-game series in Montgomery on Monday with a 7:05 p.m. game against the Biscuits. Pensacola goes home to face the Jacksonville Suns in a five-game series starting at 7 p.m. Monday.
